April 27: Foghat at the Uptown Theatre

This year will mark the 20th Anniversary of Dazed and Confused, the 1993 film that itself served as a de facto 17th anniversary of the summer of 1976. With all this meta retro flying around, it’s only fitting that bellbottom-and-bog-rips nostalgia act Foghat, the band responsible for that film’s prominent theme Slow Ride, is out on the road. Anchored by lone original member Roger Earl, a drummer who once unsuccessfully auditioned for the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Foghat hopes you remember hits like Fool For the City and Drivin’ Wheel on Saturday, April 27, at the Uptown Theatre. 1350 Third St., Napa. 8pm. $35. 707.259.0123.
